Government Statements and Transcripts
  • ASD PA Clarke Interview with Jonathan Karl, CNN 05 Jan. 2002-- Clarke: Well, what we do next, and where we go next in the war on terrorism, and it certainly is about much more than Afghanistan, are decisions made by the president. But, it is entirely appropriate and logical that we would increase our intelligence gathering operations, and our surveillance around the world to prevent future attacks. Well before September 11th, the president, Secretary Rumsfeld, and others in this administration talked about the need to improve and elevate our intelligence gathering capabilities for just that reason. So we're improving and elevating those capabilities and those activities around the world.
